latest article in the paper goes a little something like this:
guy on motorcycle hits kid on bike
guy on motorcycle caught and charged with wreckless driving and driving without a license
reason he was driving without a license?
He's legally blind and therefore cannot get a license

Wait.... I may know this story.
School bus stops. School bus puts out sign with lights. Kid exits bus. Kid gets hit by motorcycle. Kid dies. Guy on bike has no license. Guy can't get license because he is legally blind. Guy took motorcycle because if he crashed a car, he could kill someone.

ok here's recent story #2:
my brother in law has a Cessna 172 airplane, and underneath the fuselage he hung a lighting system. This lighting system is as big as the wings and is made up of tiny lights. It is hooked up to a computer in the plane and displays scrolling messages at night, just like those LED/lighted billboards that can scroll text, etc...
So just the other day he was going over the Indianapolis Colts Camp (held in terre haute) with it saying, WELCOME INDIANAPOLIS COLTS, and info as to how you can advertise with him, etc etc...
well the tv people saw it and put him on the news, and afterword they told him that they kept getting calls into the tv station about "lights in the sky" and "ufo sightings"
apparently aliens like to welcome football teams...didn't know that

You all should take a look at the Florida Sun-Sentinel news site.
The south Florida part of Interstate 95 aka "Interstate 90 Lives" (the death toll) aka "I-9 Lives" (what you need to survive it) is one of the most dangerous places to drive.
Despite an already congested native population we get international tourists who's last vehicle may have either been a donkey or a car driven on the opposite side of the road. The good weather may be a plus but on the other hand it encourages every sports car in creation to drag race through busy traffic, many of them inexperienced teens that don't live to see high school proms. Don't even get me started on the "Crotch Rocket" show-off bikers.
And then there's the other end of the spectrum. Florida is the retirement capital of America. And the retirees (bless them all) drive HUGE Ford Crown Victorias, Lincoln Grand Marquises, or any other de-commissioned battleship that can be wheel mounted. And with the slower reflexes of old age (bless them again) they drive sloooowwwwww. Signal lights are optional extras for Florida drivers. It seems like no one wants you to know what they're going to do.
Once again, great weather = booming mobile phone market (satellites and cell towers like good weather). And nowadays driving is something that gets in the way of talking.
What's it all add up too? High body counts and the highest car insurance rates in the country.

Funny you mention Florida...
Yes, they never stop for a yellow down there.
The number of Cadillac versus palm tree accidents you see in a week is amazing.
